Soto joined WWE in October of 2011 after the company released Hugo Savinovich. He was brought to his audition by longtime announcing team member Marcelo Rodríguez, who was part of the Repertorio Español Performance Art Theatre in New York City with Soto. Rodríguez and Carlos Cabrera are now doing the shows, taking turns with one announcing Raw and the other doing Smackdown.
